The committee responsible for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2026 has declared its intention to take measures to avert a clash with the Union Public Service Commission’s (UPSC) Engineering Services Examination (ESE) 2026.The annual calendar published by UPSC indicates that the ESE 2026 preliminary exam is set for February 8, 2026.

The organising committee for GATE 2026 at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT Guwahati) has acknowledged the overlap and assured candidates that core engineering papers, including civil engineering (CE), electronics engineering (EC), electrical engineering (EE), geology and geophysics (GG), instrumentation (IN), mechanical engineering (ME), production and industrial (PI), and geomatics engineering (GE), will not be scheduled on that date.
